We ask God to give us good things, to bless us, to make us happy. But we never think about other people. Do we realize that everyone wants those things? Everyone wants to be happy, everyone wants to be healthy, everyone wants the best for their children. So how does God do it?? Maybe, just maybe, God has to disappoint us once in a while to grant someone else their wishes. Really, all of us have been happy. We have all had good memories. And our lives have not been that bad. Someone else always has it worse than us. Always. What if to make everyone happy, our lives need sadness and bad things to happen. So next time something happens that is bad or maybe not what you wanted – just think that someone received a blessing because of it.
Maybe happiness is like energy. You know, in school they taught us that energy cannot be created. It is transferred. Maybe that is what happens with happiness. You cannot create it, you have to transfer or pass it on. Take it away from someone and give it to someone else. Do we mind sharing our happiness?? Interesting thought. Makes us think of life different.
When my ex-husband left me, I always thought Why? But then I thought that maybe he will be a blessing to someone else. Well, I know it was true. He became a father figure to a 9 year old girl. He was her blessing. I had to suffer but she gained a father! And you know what?? That is just OK with me. Now I am very happy with my current love. God made me suffer for a while, but He repaid me.

"We accept the love we think we deserve."
